Former President Donald Trump recently shared a prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel on X (formerly Twitter) in light of the upcoming 2024 elections, adding a spiritual element to the heated political atmosphere.
His message was posted on Michaelmas, celebrated annually on September 29, a Christian feast day honoring Saint Michael and all angels.
In his post, Trump prayed, “Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.”
